question about the "new" site

Lady Violet · 11-01-2007, 11:36 PM

i like being able to change the colors of the site with the little buttons up at the top, BUT how can i get the new color to stick once i've gone to a new page? it keeps reverting back to the purple.

It takes a few visits before your cache `remembers' the new colors. Maybe a coupla days; just keep changing it everytime you visit.

thanks. i'll give that a shot. it's just kind of strange that it's doing it, though, because the first day the site was up, i checked all the colors to see what they would look like and they stuck. i guess it just realized that it wasn't supposed to be that easy.

Make sure you are accessing the site from www.knittinghelp.com and not just knittinghelp.com. The switcher sets a cookie for www.knittinghelp.com, so if you are accessing it from just knittinghelp.com it can act a bit erratic.

Also, if your cookies are "stale", you might want to try clearing them, then reaccessing the site from www.knittinghelp.com and see if that works.

Hope this helps.

Sheldon,
Can we get a green color option?

suzeeq · 11-02-2007, 04:20 PM

Yeah, or turquoise or something?

It's on my todo list, along with a few muted color options!

sheldon, i did everything you suggested and it's still not sticking. my guess is that i just need to keep changing the color until it sticks. works for me!

Interesting. The switcher remembers your choice by placing a cookie on your computer. If for some reason it can't place the cookie then it won't remember and will revert to purple as soon as you load a new page on the site.
